Lies. they want to make money, and they are making a lot of money with captain trash, the ticket meme makes 0 sense.
also, RT is literally owned by Warner Bros.
Disney just reached a point where people shill for if for the sake of love for the brand, captain shit was the chance "feminists" wanted to star movie on the most successful modern franchise (MCU) of the decade, a franchise led by white heterosexual male actors

Probably about half of endgames budget went to inflating Captain Marvel's sales. I mean Endgane was more than likely finished before Marvel even hit theaters so writing it off as an expense of Endgame makes the most financial sense.

This "Disney bought tickets to inflate sales" meme is retarded and I can't believe it gained any traction.

I haven't seen it and I probably won't, but people just need to accept that every MCU movie is going to be huge regardless of the character or quality. Besides, why do you even care how much money movies make?

It’s because Marvel comics speaks movies in order to publish comics. They go by their movie’s box office rather if the character’s gaining interest.

Of course, there are a few exceptions, but with Captain Marvel making $910B, this means we’ll see more of her in the comics. Had the movie bombed, Marvel would be having a panic attack.

I personally wanted it to flop (not hard flop, but at the very minimum make its budget back) just so Marvel can stop shilling the character. But whatever, it ain’t the end of the world.

All this conspiracy theory is bullshit but this movie is a very interesting phenomenon. It's likely to break a billion and become one of the highest grossing movies of all time, yet everyone on the internet and real life that I know have seen it say that it's just ok, or downright bad. Even many of those who like it say they wouldn't be interested in watching again, yet those BO numbers keep growing and growing. I know that a lot of its box office has to do with brand recognition and its ties with Endgame, but I still find it very weird.

Good boy Disney that has its pockets in the US government and literally changes laws to suit their needs would never make fake sales! Sure movie companies have been caught doing ghost screenings before and there is pictured evidence of Disney holding ghost screenings but that don’t mean anything!

Why would they inflate inb4 Dobson the sales of this film? Like, why push it to be a $900 mil film? They didn't do this shit for Guardians, Ant-Man, or Dr. Strange, so why would there be a push to make this a hit?

It goes against all Disney's motivations to do something like this. It''s an absolutely extraordinary claim to say that Disney literally wasted money by buying theater seats, meaning only a small portion of that money would go back to them, all to keep up appearances. They've let movies flop before. It's what studios do. And there isn't any extraordinary evidence that this happened here, just a bunch of angry YouTubers who seem to have been the same ones who said it was going to flop, now saying there's fraud going on. Fraud that wouldn't even make sense.

https://www.businessinsider.com/dwayne-johnson-china-what-is-box-office-fraud-2018-7

>Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson's latest film "Skyscraper" has topped China's box office, but rampant fraud could mean many ticket sales are missing.

>In its opening weekend, "Skyscraper" brought in $48.4 million, nearly double its US performance, but the actual takings could be anywhere from 9% to 40% higher.

>Box-office fraud is a common occurrence in the world's second-largest film market where, particularly in smaller towns, cinemas vastly underreport sales to pocket the extra cash. Sometimes theaters enter record full price-tickets as concessions, misallocate tickets from one film to another, or simply don't record individual ticket sales or entire screenings.

The fraud is when small theaters are trying to skim more money off a box office, so they claim fewer ticket sales and pocket the difference. It's completely irrelevant to the point he's trying to make. All these videos come across as so desperate. They so wanted the movie to fail, and when it didn't, they needed to construct a narrative that it actually did.

Because they're invested in this narrative that she needs to fail because "she's being pushed"; literally the entire rationale is outlined here: >>106686652
It's not based on reality, they already went to the lengths of making long Youtube videos about how this movie was going to be shit, THEN making lengthy movies about how the movie "didn't make sense" outlining 'plotholes' in bad faith (which anyone with half a brain could understand), and then they have to make the claim that since they didn't like it and they weren't gonna see it, no one else was.

Now, you're hearing this here first: don't be surprised if many of these youtubers are preparing their scripts already for when Endgame comes out, claiming that Endgame's obvious success "could have been much higher" if it wasn't because of Captain Marvel, for a reason or another. They'll claim the movie could've made 8 gorillion instead of 7 because "her involvement" soured the box office... And that's even BEFORE knowing the amount of screentime she'll have. Just wait.

At no point the movie manager is mentioned by name, the "source" comes from them alone, there's not even a shred of source that says "this happened in Gary, Indiana" or something, it's just... "Some guy told us this happened, so that's the evidence it happens", and nothing else.
And that's your entire proof that it happened? Any reputable source would go deeper into this and ask more theaters, find the trend, etc, you know, do their homework... Instead they went and interviewed one guy (no way to corroborate this even happened) and concluded the phenomenon. Real reporting!
And yes, I am well aware BIC is a right wing website with confirmed ties to Breitbart, but this is still pretty silly, you'd think they'd be ballsier and make up more bullshit instead of saying "this one guy told us".

So let me get this straight. A glorified fan blog geek news site whose coverage of Captain Marvel looks like pic related says they have a single anonymous theater manager who allegedly says it's weird people didn't show up.

And that is your proof that a company is committing fraud on the level of hunreds of millions of dollars, dollars that they are scamming themselves out of, in order to keep up a reputation at the expense of their own profits.

Why does it just say a theater manager? Give us a name and the theater. What state? What establishment does he work for? How did he know there were 25 no shows? He sat in every theater from Thursday until Sunday? Zero people showed up to see the biggest movie coming out this month? How many people come to this theater in the first place?

How does the theater manager know that people didn't get refunds?

There's lots of questions to ask as a journalist. Why does he not reach out to Fandango? Ask them about this .Instead of digging deeper into this potential huge story, this guy puts forth a theory that has no evidence. He thinks Disney could do X and Y, but provides no reason to believe this. Why not reach out to Fandango? Why not have more evidence than one theater and twitter posts?

Lots of holes in this story. How could anyone believe this? Is critical thinking that difficult?

https://boundingintocomics.com/2019/03/13/new-reports-of-empty-theaters-at-captain-marvel-add-to-movies-controversy/

>We spoke with a movie theater manager who asked for anonymity. He told us they had “exactly 25 no shows for every showing of Captain Marvel on Thursday through Saturday.”

>The manager told us this was definitely abnormal, “It’s definitely not normal. People usually show up when they pay for tickets…I’m not sure what it is, we’ve seen big groups not show up before, but they get refunds.”

>I asked whether or not these tickets were purchased in bulk, but that information isn’t available, “I’m not sure if they were bought all at once because Fandango doesn’t give us that information, but exactly 25 no shows for every show is probably statistically impossible.”

The article doesn't even try that hard to be believable. Exactly 25? So then for all those showings, the only people that didn't show up would be the fake purchases? Dumbasses. While trying to make Disney look suspicious, they make their own story sound like bullshit.
He then says this

>Captain Marvel has been mired in controversy. One America News Network’s Jack Posobiec called for fans to avoid seeing Captain Marvel and instead see Alita: Battle Angel following Brie Larson’s comments insinuating she wanted less white men covering her on the press tour and reviewing the movie.

"Mired in controversy". Because Jack fucking Posobiec doesn't like Brie Larson.

And what this alleged source doesn't say is if there were people attending said showings at all. He's right there, why wouldn't he go and check?
If anything, these screenshots of online ticket purchases would show this exact pattern he's describing, but all they do is show, what? Empty theaters? Something that's pretty normal because at this point people who have seen it will just go and buy it at the theater instead of online, right before the movie begins?
I've seen it twice, and both times I've arrived earlier with maybe 2 or 3 people in attendance. Then 5 minutes before the movie, everyone gets in and it gets packed, because GUESS WHAT, people buy snacks and don't like sitting and waiting for the movie to start.

It's pretty basic, yet if you remember this all comes from the same people who were claiming feverishly that Disney bought entire theaters worldwide to show only Captain Marvel, simply because the tickets went on presale and they didn't even know the cinema schedules are updated weekly on Thursdays.

You're not keeping up. The obviously fake story is "Exactly 25 no shows on each! Isn't that suspicious?" Well yeah, that sounds fake. Why would a massive fraud operation by Disney buy exactly the same amount of tickets for each showing? And why would there be nobody who bought a ticket, and missed it before they could get a refund, not one person? The answer is that they wouldn't and they didn't. You just fell for a non-story from an online tabloid, and have been parroting it as definitive proof.

It's actually in California, I just googled the name in the screenshot. But check this out:
On a fucking TUESDAY, weeks after the movie came out, in this clearly small concession there's still more tickets bought than that one screenshot. It shows that whoever took it purposely looked for an early showing that wasn't purchased yet, as a "proof" that no one went to see it.

One flop wouldn't even make a difference to that. Not after over 10 years of box office success. The whole fraud idea seems completely implausible, and it doesn't help that this theory seems to be coming from the same people who said they wanted the movie to fail, that they would boycott it when it came out, that it WOULD fail. And now it's a massive hit, and this is the narrative they've come up with.

No, you're the idiot: my point was that the picture was taken purposely during an empty showing when even on a Tuesday THREE WEEKS after its premiere, there's more seats taken than that one; in other words, the screenshot was nitpicking to prove a point that isn't true. Specially after I went and took a picture of the same day in another showing that was empty (at 10pm), proving that it's pretty damn easy to make it look as if no one wants to see the movie.

Hard to say, because Black Panther broke a lot of records and they took a long time to cope with it.

The screenshot posted as "proof" wasn't even from opening day, it was a showing on the Saturday, March 9th, at 10:30PM. Late night showings are typically less crowded, so YES they absolutely looked for a showing that was empty by the time they opened the presale, you idiot.

And I don't think it's because any sort of conspiracy, but that people have reached an apex in lack of agency and they just go and watch whatever they're pointed at.

If this were remotely true, Ant-Man and its sequel wouldn't have had such a low turnout in the end. They both were actually pretty good yet their box office is very humble when compared to other MCU movies. The same goes for Solo by the way, if this were true, people would've gone in droves to see it, but they didn't. Why? Many theories exist. But this isn't some brand loyalty thing, people went to see Captain Marvel because they wanted to see what the fuss was about. And they got what they paid for.
>I wonder if Endgame will make people snap out of it, or if it's just gonna keep getting worse.
"Worse" how? You're now trying to make a negative of the fact people like this stuff? Endgame is going to me 10 gorillion dollars, and yeah, the next ones will keep rolling and get a lot, maybe it'll slow down, maybe it won't. But thinking well made, but cheap entertainment like this that has kept people invested for years is somehow a bad thing is a weird flex.

Worse and in the lack of agency and care of the actual quality of the movie. CM is a movie that has gotten a very lukewarm positive reaction from both audiences and critics, yet it's performing way better than many other Marvel movies that actually were more liked, like the Ant-Man movies you mentioned.
The difference is that Ant-Man wasn't as heavily promoted as CM was and therefore, I think it's more of an "honest" box office while CM was built as an event movie through advertising and therefore people are still going to see it in droves even though nobody likes it all that much.
I just see that it's much easier to manipulate people into what should they watch or not through gimmicks and mediums other than the actual filmmaking. I just wonder if it's gonna keep getting worse in this regards, and it'll all be a matter of PR and fuck the actual movies, or if people are gonna snap out of it and get tired of that shit, which can cause the theater business to suffer from a big blow, considering the competition from streaming media nowadays.
I might be getting a bit too apocalyptic here but I'm just fucking tired of soulless filmmaking so I'm probably projecting a lot.

You know i kind of wonder how much profit Disney has made off Marvel by this point, Boxoffice + Merchandise + home video sales are at almost 30 billion. So Disney has certainly turned a profit by now, get it another decade and the MCU's total revenue will probably be about the same cost as Fox.

Really its just a movie harking back to the start of the Marvel Universe. Like what a huge hit Thor was. Or The Hulk. Oh wait, no they weren't, Marvel simply accepted them being average and kept pushing forward because they were determined to make the Avengers movie. And it turned out to be worth it.

I think the parts sjw propaganda was a little eye rolling but the entire story of the movie is like someone took a plot and cut out everything but the ending and that part before the ending where nothing happens because they're getting to the ending.

Basically nothing really happens in the movie and Carol does nothing to move the plot forward.

The fact that people say the cat stole the show and it only does 2 things of note other than being pampered by samuel l jackson.

it's barely passable garbage and the fact that she's going to deus ex thanos in the avengers movie is like having your dick go soft after taking a bottle of viagra. she's a boner killer.

>advertising budgets for movies are always equal to or greater than budget to produce
Let's break down this special level of retarded claim:

Movie theaters keep AT LEAST 35% of domestic ticket sales. That number is often as high as 70% in foreign markets, but let's say a studio gets an entire 65% of the ticket sales to be EXTREMELY generous.

Here we're going to do a little bit of algebra:
B = budget
Y = box office
Break even calculation is therefore:
2B = .65Y
B=.375Y
Y=2.67B

Therefore, even in the most generous of circumstances, any movie that makes less than 2.67x its budget lost money.

Now, let's get a little more realistic and assume that theaters only get 40% of the foreign markets. If we assume a 50/50 domestic/WW split, the breakeven formula now looks like:
2B=.65Y/2+.4Y/2
4B=.65Y+.4Y
4B=1.05Y
Y=3.81B

Now you're looking at a movie having to make nearly FOUR TIMES its budget just to break even.

TL;DR: You're retarded.

Captain Marvel will always be remembered as the 5 minute side story to lead up into Avengers Endgame. Not as a stand-alone superhero film, not as a rich story driven movie with memorable scenes, not even as a good origin film for the character. Everything in this movie could have been told in 30 minutes of Endgame and still nobody would care to remember any of it, because of how boring the character is.

I remember more about the Dark Elves plot to spread darkness across the universe from Thor 2 than this drivel.

So $100 million is the average but considering JL was much bigger and since again since average marketing budget is about the same at least of production it probably cost around $300 million to market.

The way it works in the international market is usually that a distributor pays X amount of money for the rights for a movie and then it's the distributor that actually makes the money from BO performance. The original studios get their money whether the movie performs well or not. The thing is that the better your movie performs, the more you can ask in your next negotiation but if your movie bombs, they won't want to pay you much.

Normally advertising is paid for by publisher except when distribution/publishing rights are owned by another company. In most cases Disney movies are owned and distributed by Disney world wide and Disney makes the international profit from them.

Why do you not read the words that you post?
That's for the BIG MOVIES.
That's not an average across all movies.

For instance, in that link, it claims that Age of Extinction spent about $5m in China vs $100m in the US. AoE's production budget was $210m. But according to you, they should've spent $210m or more on marketing ... where's the other $105m???

Yet again, you've contradicted yourself.

Well, I can see that for Disney but most other studios have different local distributors. I just see it as a rather innacurate rule of thumb. Specially in China, which is the biggest foreign market and as far as I know, it's always handled by their own distributors.
It's all speculation anyway, nobody will never know how Hollywood accounting works and they'll make sure of that.

Oh hey - another thing you're making up!

The top 10 movies of 2018 and their budgets:
Infinity War - $400m
BP - $200m
JW2 - $170m
Incredibles 2 - $200m
Bohemian Rhapsody - $52m
Venom - $100m+
MI: Fallout - $178m
DP2 - $110m
Fantastic Beasts 2 - $200m

These are tentpole movies.
A $90m budget is not a tentpole movie.

For one, "tentpole" and "blockbuster" are not the same thing.
But more importantly, the average of those 10 movies is $161m, which is a lot higher than the $100m you originally claimed.

Okay, so even without IW, the average is still $134m, and that's without getting rid of Bohemian Rhapsody, which is just as much of an outlier.

By the way, there's still a bunch more movies in the year that had more than $100m budget. Even Mary Poppins Returns had $130m budget. Into the Spider-verse had a $90m budget. That was not a tentpole film. They certainly didn't spend $100m advertising it.

> Again TLJ has a budget bigger than all of those except infinity war
Yes, but still no proof that they spent $300m marketing it.
Still no source for "common knowledge" that marketing budget is equal to production budget.
Still no source that $100m is the average marketing budget.

Gee, you're doing a great job here.
I'll give you credit though, you're at least getting me to respond.

Your review bombing before the thing was even out allowed the scores to be changed (blame Disney all you like, that was you retards) and your constant aggression towards it basically worked as free advertising.

Bait and shitposting aside, I'll bite. The idea that Disney is just buying $900 million worth of their own tickets without any uproar makes absolutely no sense. Theaters would be the first to complain, as they make most of their money through concessions, not ticket sales, and they wouldn't be happy they're being used as a vehicle to funnel money back into Disney like that.

It literally was. They even ran a tie-in ad campaign called "What's your origin story?" to get viewers to join the Air Force.

I don't think there's anything wrong with getting people to join the Air Force, by the way. It's just fucking hilarious that the film is blatantly government propoganda, right there in your fucking face. At one time, a Disney film made to appeal to kids (families) too trying to get them to join the military would raise a big outcry and paranoia. But none of the supposedly neocon-hating, critical of the "forever war" alt-right said shit about it, instead they obsessed over ludicrous lunatic conspiracy theories and a stupid thing some literally who actress said when really the movie had fuck all "feminism" just decades stale Spice Girls grade "grrl powa," fuck it barely even had that.

Government propaganda right in front of you.

Or they went because they're mindless zombies. It's like you just can't handle the idea that someone else might have interest in something you don't.
